AN INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER
Professor
Bar-Zohar is one of the most popular Israeli speakers in the US and Europe
today. When he is in the US, he speaks almost daily throughout the country
for Universities, The United Jewish Appeal, Israel Bonds, Foreign Affairs
Organizations, Book Clubs, the Israeli Government and Christian Groups. He is
often interviewed in the American media, and has been hosted by CNN News, ABC,
CBS, NBC, PBS, Larry King Live, Nightline, C-Span,etc.
Relentless - Shimon Peres's unknown story - Twice Israel's prime
minister, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, bold leader in a war-torn region,
Shimon Peres is one of the great statesmen of the modern world. Peres is also a
fascinating, complex man – a brilliant intellectual who is entirely at home in
the corridors of power, an individual revered by the world and yet highly
controversial in his own country, at once a hero and a figure of tragedy. In
the lecture based on Bar-Zohar's recently published biography of Peres, the
full measure of a towering, enigmatic leader is revealed.
Witness to History – Bar-Zohar’s
personal experiences in Israel’s Wars and Politics.
“Beyond Hitler’s Grasp” – the Heroic
Rescue of 50,000 Jews from the Holocaust in World War Two. This amazing
lecture describes the struggle of the Bulgarian people and leaders – the
Church, the pro-Fascist majority in Parliament, the King, the public opinion –
to prevent the deportation of Bulgaria’s Jews. They were successful, and the
entire Jewish community was saved.
Missiles over Lebanon.
A
veteran of the 1982 Lebanon War and a civilian volunteer in the 2006 Lebanon
conflict, Bar-Zohar witnessed the dramatic and controversial events at Israel’s
northern border. He reveals the true story of Israel’s war against the
Hizballah, and describes the secret decisions, the military moves, the mishaps,
the missile attacks, and the staunch combats. He analyzes the future of the
conflict with the Islamic terrorists, the enigmatic personality of Hizballah’s
leader, Sheikh Nasrallah, and his devious Iran connection. But he also argues
that the bloody war may offer an unexpected bounty to Israel and Lebanon and
change their future.
The Dimona Documents: Fascinating
French and American documents, recently discovered by Professor Bar-Zohar in
Paris and Washington, reveal the untold drama of
Israel's nuclear project.
Munich,
the real story. Following Steven Spielberg’s controversial film
“Munich”, Bar-Zohar describes the true story of Israel’s manhunt after the
leaders of “Black September”, the men behind the massacre of the Israeli
athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Ben-Gurion
at 120. 2006 is “Ben-Gurion’s year” in the Jewish world. This is
the 120th anniversary of
Ben-Gurion’s birth and the 100th anniversary of his immigration to Palestine. The
lecture paints Ben-Gurion’s profile, his personal life and disappointments, his
determined struggle for the establishing of a Jewish State, and the dramatic
moments when he, personally, changed the history of his people.
Fathers and Sons – The men and women who
shaped the State of Israel. Weizmann and Ben-Gurion, Begin and
Golda Meir – and their successors, the heroic Moshe Dayan, the visionary Shimon
Peres, the dedicated Rabin, the disappointing Netanyahu and Barak, the amazing
Ariel Sharon. A gallery of leaders who had to navigate Israel throughout her
turbulent history.
The New Anti-Semitism: The new faces of
the old hatred against the Jewish people –
learned articles by American scholars, that really are a new version of
the Protocols of the Elders of Zion; Muslim fanaticism; European traditional
Anti-Semitism, disguised today as criticism of Israel; African and Asian
outbursts of hatred against people they’ve never seen. What should be done
against these ugly reminders of a recent past.
The rise of Islamic fundamentalism and its
dangers, from the Muslim Brotherhood to Bin-Laden.
Fighting Terrorism – the relentless
struggle of The United States, Israel and their allies against terrorism
throughout the world, before and after 9/11/2001.
The L’Oreal Affair: How the world’s
largest cosmetics company became a haven for Nazi criminals; how it paid
millions of dollars in bribes to the Arab boycott bureau; how it was defeated
by a brave Jew and a handful of dedicated Frenchmen.
Peace or Terror? Israelis and Palestinians
after the 2006 elections.
Two electoral campaigns brought dramatic results – the
Palestinians crowned Hamas, the Israelis chose a new government coalition to
succeed Sharon. What do these elections mean for Israel, the Palestinians, and
the war against terrorism? Should Israel unilaterally withdraw from most of the
West Bank? Is Hamas going to be our vilest enemy – or a partner for peace?
Deadly Iran. The terrible danger
that a nuclear Iran represents for the free world, the Middle East, Israel,
Europe and America. What can be done to prevent Iran from building doomsday
weapons.
The new Espionage. After the end of
the Cold War, the shadow wars between secret services continue, but by
different means, and against different enemies. Today they are more cruel and
risky than ever.
The Peace Process in the Middle East - a success or a
failure? What has been achieved until now – and what are the prospects for the
future. Does the Road Map have any chance of success? And what happened to the New Middle East?
